Praising Constantine
local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
The long reign of Constantine the Great saw the re-establishment of dynastic rule and the state-sponsorship of Christianity; these fundamental political and cultural changes came with new vitality, agency and ambition in the public discourse of political praise-giving. This volume foregrounds the Constantinian era as a key period in the history of the rhetoric and aesthetics of political messaging through the artful praise of Constantine; chapters attend to praise in prose and verse, Christian and not, in Latin and Greek, stand-alone and as part of a collection, all in the lifetime or Constantine or soon after his death.
Contributors are: Rebecca Usherwood, Catherine Ware, Michael Hanaghan, Roger Rees, Bruce Gibson, Michael Squire, Milena Raimondi, David Greenwood, Christian Djurslev, Alan Ross.
